Ag Jatkowska

Ag was born in Gdansk, Poland and grew up by the cold Baltic Sea. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk with a MA in Graphic Design and Illustration.

In Poland she has worked as a senior artist for Pan Dragon, a publisher of greeting cards and stationery, and as a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and photographer.

Ag is motivated and inspired by the importance of children’s book illustrations and their capacity to change the way children see the world by stimulating their imagination and helping them to understand many things. She composes her work using watercolour, acrylic and Photoshop.

Having lived and worked in Bath for a number of years as an in-house greetings card and stationery designer, Ag now enjoys working on a freelance basis, and has also created illustrations for various publishers of books and magazines, including: Publications International Ltd., Ladybird, and Polish editions of ELLE and PLAYBOY. Her work has also been exhibited at a number of private shows in Europe.
